Public Talk on the Story-Telling Project of the
Ex-Untouchables in India

By visiting Order member Jayamati. Donations accepted.

Thursday, April 11 (2002), 7pm

Ten years ago visiting Order member Jayamati started working with storytellers in the ex-untouchable communities in India that had converted from the Hindu caste system to Buddhism. The Asvagosha project involves teams of locally recruited volunteer storytellers that visit villages and urban slums addressing issues facing the ex-untouchables such as alcoholism, the assumptions behind dowry weddings, health problems, and the benefits of education for girls and women. Jayamati's lecture is part of Thursday Sangha Night.

Jayamati will also be doing a one-day storytelling workshop on Saturday, April 20 (more about Jayamati's workshop). More about Jayamati.
